WRITING IS NOT PUBLISHING

Writing is the coding of speech which is the coding of concepts in the brain derived from the sensorium of the body in the world.  Publishing is the preparation and presentation of writing and/or images in order to sell it or at least make it public.  Blogging is publishing.  I bundle up existing posts on specific subjects in order to create "books," which are available for purchase at www.lulu.com/prairiemary.   

I use a pseudonym to detach from Bob Scriver, to whom I was married in the Sixties.  He also self-published books, but they were printed on paper and bound.  They are on Amazon as are several of my books published by others.
